How I did it
How to drive cross country
It took me
7 days
It made me

How I did it: We drove. And drove. And stopped. And ate. And drove some more. Then we arrived. Then we spent a day sightseeing before we flew back and left my sister to begin her grad school adventure. Read how I did it…

How to travel for work

6 months

Rejuvenated

How I did it: I went to an international conference for professionals in my field and presented a workshop on some learning materials that our college has developed. I had a great workshop with tons of collaboration and fantastic ideas from people in similar positions all across the country.After the conference I spent some time with my sister and grandmother, who live in the area. Got to do a bit of sightseeing and play around.Sadly, conference funds … Read how I did it…

How to deepen my friendships
It took me
5 years
It made me
wiser

How I did it: This goal has been on my list for a long, long time, but I think I will finally say that I have accomplished it, albeit not in the most orthodox way. I realize now that my previous friendships felt shallow because many were with people who were just generally not great people. Some others were with people who are quite good people but aren't often enough on the same level as I am.I now have amazing friends, new and old, who I know well an… Read how I did it…

I need to snap myself out of it!

I’ve been so darn depressed lately and I know that I have to make the choice to snap myself out of it, but it’s been so hard. When you’re really depressed, sometimes knowing the answer and knowing you can get yourself to the answer can be two different things.

So today is it. I have to make the choice not to dwell on the past and on what’s lost. I have to make the choice to be happy.

So here are my thoughts for today:

The past was great
The future is even brighter
I am ready to make great things happen
I am ready for whatever’s next for J and I

Affirmations

I wrote these affirmations down because, when I really allow myself to believe them, they really allow me to operate at my best.

I am going to try to repeat them as often as I can—both when I’m feeling positive and when I’m not.

I am strong
I am a bad ass
I am awesome
I am funny
I don’t care what anyone thinks of me
I am not a timid person
I am not a fearful person
I am too good for people who manipulate me
I am intelligent
I am beautiful
I make myself
I define who I am
My relationship is beautiful
My life is fulfilling
I am a good person
I am a kind person
I make good choices
I love my life
I feel good
I am happy

give therapy my all (read all 2 entries…)
Untitled

I had a terrible two weeks, and went to therapy a hot mess. That session was hands down the most important I ever had. I am recognizing patterns that I have internalized from my childhood and that are leading me to feel bad about myself and to be sad and anxious. I am also having an easier time coping with my past and thinking about my future. I feel better than I have in over a year an a half and I feel better, more positive, and stronger than I ever have. Being open in therapy has been hard, but it is paying off.
